GamesIndustry International has word that LucasArts president Paul Meegan has stepped down, shortly after the departure of Clint Hocking. They say his role is not being filled right away as: "in the interim, two members of LucasArts' leadership team have stepped up to co-lead the studio. Kevin Parker will be focused on business operations while Gio Corsi will be focused on studio production." Here's the official statement on this:

"Paul has been a valuable member of the Lucasfilm leadership team and we wish him the best in his future endeavors. We remain committed to our current projects and will be re-evaluating LucasArts' leadership needs to ensure that we make the right decisions to keep the studio focused," said Mich Chau, President and Chief Operating Officer, Lucasfilm.

"LucasArts has come a long way and I'm extremely proud of what the teams have accomplished," said Meegan. "We had a great E3 with Star Wars 1313, and have other exciting projects in the works. It's been a privilege to be a part of Lucasfilm. I wish the company all the best."

The Beard himself fired them and ordered the new LA Prez to immediately start development on "The Clone Wars: The Dark Cradle", dealing with Anakin Skywalker's toddler years. "That's what the fans want", commented The Beard on LA's new game plans.

Then, the beard needs to drop dead.
